Nursery holds fun day for father with tumour

A CHARITY fun day will be held in Henley today (Friday) to raise money for life-saving treatment for a man suffering from a brain tumour.

Treetops Nursery in the Centenary Business Park, near the station, will host the event for 24-year-old father-of-one Matt Rackley, from Maidenhead, who was diagnosed in 2012.

About £165,000 has already been raised for his treatment but more is needed to pay for his after care.

Mr Rackleys tumour is on his brain stem so is inoperable but his family hope he will be able to have proton therapy treatment, where a single ray of radiation is targeted at the cancerous area. The treatment is available in America and the Czech Republic.
